How to read these numbers
Challenge rate is the share of questions that pushed back, pressed for specifics or questioned management’s assumptions. It describes how questions were asked on the calls tracked here; it does not measure whether any view turned out to be right.
Rounding. Rates are rounded to whole percentages, so a small share can show as 0% even when some questions were challenging. The count beside each rate is exact; “none of N questions” means no question was challenging.
No questions recorded. “—” means there is nothing to calculate: no questions were recorded for that period on the calls tracked here. It does not mean there was no activity.
Fewer than 3 questions. A company-level rate is withheld when fewer than 3 questions were recorded for that company; the questions are still counted everywhere else.
Small samples. Profiles with fewer than 10 questions are marked Limited sample.
Reporting periods. Questions are grouped by the calendar quarter each company’s fiscal reporting period maps to, not by the date of the call. Periods without a calendar mapping are listed separately under their fiscal label.

Calendar 2025 Q4
Can you help us parse out how much of that was additionally attributable to any government shutdown noise or like any sort of observable deterioration in the underlying trend or demand
Show response
Management attributed middle four-week DIY weakness to weather comparisons (colder last year) and hurricane benefit lapping, not underlying demand deterioration.
how does the curve of that SG and A per store growth look throughout the year? And does that pretty much moderate into next year
Show response
Management confirmed ~2pp of SG&A growth from new stores and programs. Store openings back-half weighted (350-360 total), so SG&A acceleration continues through year.

what's being baked in the guide in terms of, like, any sort of sequential improvement in the category and from the Easter shift
